Week 13 Post 1

I really enjoyed reading about intelligence in this weeks chapter. The fact that there are so many different intelligences and that we all specialize in certain ones is so strange to think about. I’m glad that psychologists have developed many different ways that people can be smart, not just book wise. For example some people can be very street smart and say in the ways of talking and selling and business wise but have no idea how to interpret Shakespeare, it’s not that they’re dumb it’s just that they are smart in different ways. Also someone can work really hard and study all the time in order to achieve a grade where as someone who is super smart can be lazy and not use their brains to their full potential so this causes them to get an F. Hard work beats talent that doesn’t work hard is one of my favorite quotes. It doesn’t matter how smart you are it’s how you use it.
